As far as i know we are all from cumberland county north carolina. However, William Hurley Sr. And Jr. Definitely popped out at me. Troy is not too for from cumberland county. I was interested in any more information or documentation you have on these men or any other Hurley’s in the north carolina area. Maybe family trees? My great grandfathers name is Johnny Hurley, my Grandfathers name is David Hurley my fathers name is Richard Hurley and my name is Christopher Hurley. Theyre all African American and i myself am African American, Native American and European American. This really interest me and if you dont have any info maybe you could point me in the right direction. Thank you so much for your time.

I enjoyed my research on the Hulin family so much—especially regarding Jesse and Caroline Moore Hulin—that I revisited their family in my last book, The Long Shadow of the Civil War. In that book, I gave greater attention to Hiram Hulin’s post-war letter addressing the murders of his sons. The book also features the same photo of Caroline Hulin that appears on this blog.

Finally, thank you for your appreciation of the work we historians strive to produce!

My grandmother was Jessie Hulin, daughter of Kinney Wilson Hulin, whose father was Rev.John Wilson Hulin, whose parents were Jesse Hulin and Caroline Moore Hulin. I have your book “Unruly Women” and am so interested to read your other books. I just wanted to drop a note and thank you for your interest and tenacity involved in your research. God bless the record keepers of the world.

After learning my family history and that our branch of the “Somers” are from North Carolina (late 1700s) and then Tennessee (early to mid 1800’s), I find this to be very interesting, and can only wonder how these events in history influenced my ancestors.

Sorry for the long delay in responding to your post. My ancestor, Leticia, (Lutishia, Lecia) was born abt 1833 and married Henry Clay Crowder. They actually had a son named U.S. Grant Crowder and moved to Randolph County. No one seems to know when Leticia died, it isn’t even on the tombstone at Love Joy that she shares with Henry. My grandmother was named Rodema Lutishia after her.

Maybe because she married out of the Hulin and Reynolds families, she kind of slipped into obscurity.
